?Content warning: this play contains mentions of suicide, abuse, violence & death.?

And I know what you?re thinking: you?re thinking it must be pretty easy to kill people who are simply clinging on to life. But the people clinging on to life are the most dangerous people of all.
Clair wants to be kissed ? but not now ? and certainly not by her husband. Chris wants to celebrate his new job by driving into oncoming traffic. Jenny arrives to complain about the screaming children ? but the garden?s empty, and the key to the playroom?s disappeared. Just what strange game is being played here?

Four characters fight to make sense of a surreal and collapsing world.

Directed by Phoebe Rhodes and performed by third year BA Musical Theatre, BA Acting and BA Performing Arts Education students at Marjon University, ?The City? intricately explores contemporary urban angst, the search for purpose of existence and a desperation for connection.
This production uses original music and bold design to examine resonating themes of stories, entrapment, loss and morality. It mirrors the current global sense of unease and detachment and forces us to ?cling on to life?, to community, to creativity and to identity.
This amateur production of ?The City? is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
